With so many slick electric motorcycles[1] on the horizon, it’s getting increasingly difficult to justify the use of polluting, petroleum-powered older models. But instead of sending old Vespas to the trash pile, Spanish design studio Bel & Bel has a more creative solution: turn the stylish relics into snazzy pieces of furniture!

Bel & Bel’s series of handmade leather chairs is constructed from the front shield and spare parts of old Vespas. The like-new chairs appear to be ready to hit the streets (or cubicle-lined hallways) at any moment!

The Vespa series is not the first example of upcycled furniture we’ve seen–others include the Scrap Lab’[2]s furniture made from industrial scraps and Chris Burton’s Repose Lounge[3].
